In case you just stopped by to look at cards, here's one of the swaps I created for the cruise using Regarding Dahlias:
Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux silk_1

This is the same swap, one created before I re-inked my pads and the other after. Whew! What a difference a few drops of ink can make!

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux_silk_2

It's not the easiest to see, but I used the "faux silk" technique on this card, inking the dahlia first with Daffodil Delight ink and then sponging Tangerine Tango ink around the edges. After I stamped on plain white tissue paper I wadded the tissue into a tight little ball, smoothed it out, then adhered it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I had covered with my Anywhere Glue Stick. After gently but not completely smoothing the tissue down I cut it out with a Floral Frames framelit. I then sponged the edges with more Tangerine Tango ink.

The greeting is from Gifts of Kindness, cut out with a Bitty Banner Framelit.

I think this is the first card I've shared with you in weeks that didn't have at least one retiring product used! Amazing!

Inside I used stamps from the new Work of Art set. Even the shape of the card has been cut with a Floral Frames Framelit!

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux_silk_3

More vividly inked version. (It goes without saying, this is the one I swapped!)

Lots of sponging going on. I was actually pretty happy I only had to make 9 of these. I swapped these with my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop friends!

Stampin’ Up! Retro Regarding Dahlias!

Stampin’ Up! Retro Regarding Dahlias!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. So sorry you were unable to view my blog Monday. Typepad was experiencing another DDOS attack by Internet pirates. They have the issue resolved for the moment, but I'm afraid they probably aren't done trying.

Today's card has a very "retro" feel to it:

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_1

The Crushed Curry, dry embossed vellum, and gold embossing reminds me of the "Harvest Gold" appliances from my childhood home!

Stampin_up_regarding_dahllias_2

I gold heat-embossed the dahlia 4 times on cardstock vellum, then cut the largest layer with a die from the Floral Frames Framelits,then punched the remaining three layers with the Blossom punch, the Pansy Punch, and the Boho Blossoms Punch. A Vintage Faceted Button glue-dotted to the center finishes it off.

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_3

Inside I gold embossed the Occasions Catalog stamp "People Like You" for the sentiment.

That's all for now. I'm going to get off of here as quickly as possible before the pirates come back!

Here's your shopping list for this card in my Online Store:

Stampin’Up! Yes, Mam’s Downline Meeting Swaps!

Stampin’Up! Yes, Mam’s Downline Meeting Swaps!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a fun but busy Sunday! First, I helped in the nursery at church during the morning service. I do this once a month, partnering with my daughter, Jessica. It's always fun, but right now there's a bunch of little guys in there, including two of my grandsons, Jaxon and Liam, that make it even better!

After Sunday dinner at my house with 4 of my kids in attendance, I went back to my church to set up for the quarterly meeting of my Yes, Mam! Stampers!

I set up my display of my Leadership Board and more samples:

Our main activity was a Shoebox Swap:

Stampin_up_downline_meeting_1

Stampin_up_downline_meeting_2

Everyone is concentrating (and enjoying!) making each other's cards!

Here's a few of our creations of the day:

Stampin_up_by_the_seashore_michelle_daschka_1

Michelle Daschka's "By the Seashore" creation, complete with a real sea shell!

Stampin_up_owl_builder_punch_michelle_daschka_1

Michelle also brought these little treat cup favors for everyone! She found the cups in the grocery store, then used her Owl Builder Punch to create coordinating little tags for a festive look!

Stampin_up_chalk_talk_angie_lisk_1

Angie Lisk used the Chalk Talk stamp set and Framelits Bundle, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and the colors of Crumb Cake, Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Whisper White!

Stampin_up_chalk_talk_angie_lisk_2

Inside she used the Envelope Liner Framelit Die to create a gift card holder with more stamps from the Chalk Talk set.

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_martha_swift_1

Martha Swift created a card with two options using the Regarding Dahlias stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch, Encore Gold Metallic ink, and Gold Foil Paper. You could make this portrait version using the Starburst Framelits to cut the flower layers.

Stampin_up_regrding_dahlias_martha_swift_2

Or you could make the card landscape, hand-cutting the dahlia with Paper Snips, then punching Basic Black flower layer with the Blossom Punch, the next dahlia layer with the Pansy Punch, the next Basic Black layer with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, and the final dahlia layer with the scallop circle Itty Bitty Shapes Punch.

Stampin_up_thoughts_and_prayers_collage_linda_reaney_1

Linda Reaney's creation uses a bunch of stamps with Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke ink: Flower Shop, Petite Petals (Occasions), En Francais background, and Thoughts and Prayers! The "happy Birthday wishes" is from Petite Pairs. All the stamping is on Naturals Ivory, then layered on Always Artichoke and finally a Rich Razzleberry card base. She added a bit of Victoria Crochet Trim for the perfect final touch!

That's all I have for you today. There are a few more swaps to share, but I'm saving them for tomorrow! Oh, and in case you are wondering, the Tangerine Tango Stampin' Up!  Inspire, Create, Share bag is from the Make & Take Session at Leadership. All attendees received one! Stampin' Up! is so good at giving little perks like these!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Butterflies in Flight!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Butterflies in Flight!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy 4th of July! Hope you have something fun on your agenda for today, and I hope you take time to be thankful for the freedom and liberty we all enjoy but take for granted!

Today's card uses a technique I've been  admiring for awhile but hadn't tried yet, and I'm not sure what its' official name is, but for this one I'm calling it "butterflies in flight"!

I stamped this butterfly from the Best of Butterflies stamp set in Jet Black StazOn all along the edge of this Whisper White Notecard. I added the colors of Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Wisteria Wonder to the butterflies with a Sponge Dauber, then used my Paper Snips to cut out the edges of the notecard and partially around the butterflies to give the allusion of the butterflies "fluttering" off the page!

Butterfly hi 1

I stamped the "hi" from Regarding Dahlias, then added a butterfly for the dot in the "i" that was stamped with a Papillon Potpourri butterfly, and punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. I added a Basic Black grounding layer to the back of the notecard just to give it a little more pop and substance since Whisper White cardstock is a bit thin as a card base. I finished off the butterflies with small Basic Jewel Pearls.

Butterfly hi 2
 The inside layer has a Wisteria Wonder panel that has been embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder, and the greeting is from the 25th Anniversary set, Best of Greetings.

That's all for now. We are planning to have a get-together with some of Mark's family this evening. We missed the local fireworks because they were last Saturday out at the lake. I never have understood having fireworks early instead of ON the weekend the 4th is closest to, but they don't ask my opinion, so there you go.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
